Measure Management & DAX Editor
Anyone who uses PowerBI long enough has had a PBIX with 50-60 measures and it has become time consuming and tedious to mantain. In Excel you can do a quick find/replace to edit several formulas - in PowerBI you need to select each one individually. An "excel-like" interface for editing measures would save a lot of time! This would take PowerBI to the next level regarding productivity. I've prepared a mockup for this as well as a DAX Editor. Let me know what you think.

Checking with Will Thompson and moving status to backlog

I would prefer an import/export functionality for measures. Would give me much more flexibility and would enable me to transfer measures between pbix files

Does moving to "Backlog" mean this feature suggestion go to the head of the line or does it get thrown into the back of the line never to be seen again. If the latter, how can we indicate that it is a very much needed feature? Is there a similar request in a different area?

Trace Dependencies is a BIG issue that would be very helpful. It would also be awesome if the editor was available to use while in the relationship view. It is helpful to be able to see the relationships when writing the formulas.

+ a type ahead functionality would be a plus, or kind of "auto fill", e.g. start typing "calc" than press e.g. "Tab" and the editor propose results, like "Calculate".
+ a formula checker (like others already suggested would be great.I support entire idea. What a great effort DaveG. Thank you. Hope to see something similar soon.

The mockup looks fantastic, I can't believe they haven't even started to implement this yet.

This is a critical issue that is keeping me from migrating several business critical reports from Excel to PowerBI. Having maintained this data for over 7 years, we followed the progression of PowerBI from it's early origins in PowerPivot, creating tons of custom measures with both complex relationships and DAX formulae in their Data Models.
